Biological and Molecular Properties of Densoviruses and Their Use in Protein Expression and Biological Control

  • Chapter
The Insect Viruses

Part of the book series: The Viruses ((VIRS))

Abstract

The first report of an insect disease caused by a densovirus (DNV) goes back to the early 1960s when the Laboratoire de Pathologie Comparée, a reference center for diagnosis of invertebrate pathogens in Saint Christol-lez-Alès, France, received a sample of dying Galleria mellonella larvae from a mass rearing of this insect for fishing bait. The larvae showed symptoms of paralysis, flaccidity, and depigmentation (Meynadier et al., 1964; Vago et al., 1964). Histological and ultrastructural investigations revealed that they were suffering from a hitherto unknown syndrome characterized by Feulgen staining by the presence of hypertrophied, strongly positive nuclei in different tissues, predominantly the adipose cells (Amargier et al., 1965). On ultrathin sections, the greatly enlarged nuclei appeared filled with an electron-dense virogenic stroma containing thousands of small isometric particles. According to these characteristics, this new syndrome was designated 〞virose à noyaux denses〞 (viral disease resulting in dense nuclei) (Vago et al., 1966), from which the names densonucleosis virus and later densovirus were derived. This virus happened to be so virulent and contagious that the rearing of G. mellonella larvae in St. Christol laboratory became problematic for over 1 year.
